Wallpaper Forest Plants 973-1

Forest Plants 973-1 keeps the same woodland greenery without the animals: eucalyptus sprigs, ferns and tiny flowers on a cream ground. It is the natural partner to Forest Fauna when one wall carries the animals and the rest of the room is meant to stay quiet.

Forest Plants is the botanical half of the same woodland: eucalyptus sprigs, ferns, small white and yellow flowers and the occasional butterfly or bird. The pattern is open and even, which lets it work over large areas and in hallways.

Mika is the children's collection from ICH Wallcoverings, where watercolour animals and landscapes are matched with quiet stripes, textures and plain companions so that the walls of one room can be put together as a set. The paper is non woven and of the Easy Up type: the paste goes onto the wall rather than onto the paper, and a dry length can still be slid into place. The roll measures 53 cm × 10.05 m with a 53 cm repeat and a straight match, so the pattern joins at the same height on every length.

The surface is washable, so fingerprints and marks come off with a damp cloth. Lightfastness is very good, which means a sunny wall will not fade quickly. When the room is redone, the old covering comes away dry in one piece and the wall underneath needs no fresh filling.
